Beef Soup Recipes

My husband Lulu is traveling all week, but right before taking him to the airport, his allergies were bothering him. I gave him antihistamine and prepared a French onion soup-inspired broth to ease his congestion. The broth was made of a combination of red wine, beef bones and loads of onions. I thickened it with a simple roux (flour and butter mixture) and upped the flavored with fresh thyme.

I served the broth with cheesy cornucopia (horn-shaped) puff pastryappetizers. They provided the perfect contrast of texture with the flavorful broth.
